Upper Stoney Squaw Loop Details
Though small, the Upper Stone Squaw Loop trail is narrow, technically difficult and steep as it climbs through a thick forest to its summit atop Stoney Squaw Mountain. At the top, enjoy the views of Cascade Mountain and the Bow Valley, as well as a snack and a rest, before continuing north to descend a rocky, technical trail to the old ski runs above the Mt. Norquay day lodge and where you began. Trail guides and cycling maps are available, and be sure to follow the park's rules and regulations to make the most of your ride: be bear aware; ride on designated trails; avoid riding during extreme conditions; help preserve the trails' quality; know your limits; yield to other riders; and, of course, leave no trace. **Trail Type**: Loop **Difficulty:** Difficult **Distance**: 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) **Trailhead:** Mt.
